Thank you. I was just diagnosed with this. The doctor told me to eat sour candy,drink lots of water and massage. Not really explaining very well. You told me everything and now I feel confident in this. Hopefully I will have success. Thanks again!
Same here went to get checked a year ago, told the doctor I have a stone, poked it with a Popsicle stick and said "yea you have a stone, suck on some sour stuff and drink water." Then charged me $150 for the visit, that experience has left me feeling "sour" about the medical system ever since.
I went to a doctor a couple years ago and he had no idea what it was so he prescribed me pain meds, anti-inflammatory meds, and some muscle relaxers. I was like wow professional 😭
Took 2 days to get rid of the stone following these techniques. What a relief! The only thing I added was a warm compress for a few minutes when the pain and swelling kicked in after eating.
How long you have salivary stone before it was removed? I currently have, I went to the doctor and he advised the same..but still stone not passing out..

I’m suffering from Chronic Sialadenitis. In my case, my neck is swollen up and has become hard like a rock and unlike most others here, I do not have any stones and this was confirmed by taking an Ultrasound and even a CT scan. I wasn’t able to swallow without feeling pain. Have been on antibiotics for a month now, I’m also taking warm compresses, sucking on lollipops and trying to keep myself hydrated. Fortunately the pain has reduced and the swelling is still there although it’s reduced. I’ve consulted 4 doctors and they’re just prescribing antibiotics. This is the worst kind of disease to have especially when doctors themselves are clueless
I found Dr’s to be useless for the past 3 years with my chronic health issues! Nobody could help me. Until I found a Biological Dentist to extract an old root canal. #31, the last tooth on the bottom right. Just had it extracted 4 days ago and the chronic Eosinophilic Asthma I was diagnosed with last year has ceased within 1 day of having that root canal extracted. I have not had to use my inhaler since! I wasn’t having any pain, swelling or fever. However, in my long journey to find out what the root cause was to all my health issues I have read and researched lots of articles and literature on the subject of root canals. They are detrimental to your overall health and can most definitely cause systemic health problems, autoimmune diseases, heart disease and even cancers. Regardless of pain or swelling in the area. My gland under my jaw where that root canal sat for so many years was always a little swollen and a tiny bit sensitive. Now 4 days out from the extraction of that tooth and the pain is so unbearable right now, not even the extraction site. The pain is coming from that gland, even with pain meds and antibiotics. The gland is super swollen now. I have no doubt now that the gland was definitely connected to that tooth. I am calling the Biological Dentist who did the extraction first thing in the morning. Not sure if she’ll just keep me on antibiotics longer or have me come into the office. I just feel like if it could be drained I would have immediate relief! ☹️ Looking into a Biological Dentist and having a CBCT 3D imaging done might be worth looking into. Hope this is helpful!
Im in a very similar situation, over a month, 2 different anti biotics, a second stone formed, trip to the Emergency Room and my ENT says the only other option is surgery to remove the salivary gland.

I get this several times a year and it’s PAINFUL. I am a great water drinker, don’t smoke, regular dental care. I was tested for autoimmune diseases-none found but have symptoms of several. High body inflammation even though careful to eat an anti-inflammatory diet. It’s depressing and anxiety-producing! My ENT just wants to remove the gland (that looks TERRIBLE!!). Just two weeks ago I took one bite of a bland taco and my face started to swell in front of my guests. Took 6 days of warm compresses and salt water gargles to get rid of it. I can’t be on antibiotics all the time! It happens so often I can’t afford to go to the ENT every time it occurs. It’s a painful, terrible condition and I feel for anyone who has to deal with this. 😫

lol, my story is quite funny, I got on a diet in Summer and was exercising and obviously lost some weight and noticed swelling under my jaw and got all paranoid, you know... this is pretty good explanation, for me those glands increase in size while eating and become noticeable if I raise my head up... because of this stupid thing I had anxiety for over a month, did a lot of blood tests, did chest x-ray, made ultrasound of thyroid, and all internal organs, even made endoscopy research which was not fun.... and only my hematologist was smart enough to tell me those were salvia glands
This is exactly what I have 😭😭😭 my face ear area started swelling yesterday and hurt so much when I dried to drink :( I had no idea there was such thing as salvary stones 😢
A few years ago I had bilateral swelling of my parotid glands, loss of taste, no pain, no saliva. They ruled out stones as all the glands were swollen not just one or two. It eventually disappeared without any treatment, however they did do lots of test, thyroid biopsy, chest x-rays thinking it could be lupus. Never found out what caused it & it hasn't returned. Just a mystery.
Very interesting video. As someone who had a salivary gland infection, for which hospitalization was recommended, I wonder whether taking guaifenesin would contribute to dehydration of the salivary glands.

My GP pointed out that simply imagining a lemon slice can make one salivate - which is handy.
5:18 This one worked instantly but sub-mandubular upwards not forward and it was so satisfying. It was tiny stone though, and it just popped out instantly. I put it back between my teeth and grinded it into a mush as revenge. No bad tasting secretions but my swollen left gland drained instantly. Thank you
Thank you thank you thank you so much I was in the convenient Care. I have experience of what you were talking about thank you so much you helped me so much. You are an angel 😇😇😇💗💗💗 God bless you we need to spread the word of mouth stuff like that and I need a drink more water! ❤❤
This is the second time I am having this. The first time antibiotics and some paste the doctor recommended helped. This time, i let it grow out of proportion to the point where swallowing became difficult. I was wondering if the tap water full of calcium and magnesium might have something to do with it. I reach a point where I'm trying to analyze everything im putting into my body. I also was taking vitamin and minerals supplements everyday for a while. Without anyone prescribing them. Do you think their overdose might lead to a crystallisation in the duct?
I appreciate this information, since I have been to the UK I notice a subtle change in facial structure, and now I think it's getting worse. Although I am a slim person, I thought it was just me naturally putting on size and therefore it was showing in my face. However that's not the case, so I started googling about this because it's becoming not too attractive. I'm a bit worried that it could be an underlying health issue
Hmm I had similar issue's still have but less than before. For me it started after covid vaccinations. My face looks less soft and often puffy. Less defined jawline. I did tests echo of my neck etc but everything was normal. When it's swelling it's more on left side under my jawline and sometimes it's thick on the 'bottom' of my neck in the middle. Lately my neighborhood is actively asking questions about a chemical factory near by so now im wondering if that's related to my symptoms like shortness of breathe sudden swelling which suddenly comes and goes and neighbors had similar issue's. Who knows but it could be post vaccination syndrome as well, I guess I will never know. It's there sinceb3 years but in 2021 till 2023 it was much worse. Exhausted lack of energy and my neck made me look like a frog!it was not weight gain bc it was only there for some days per month. I cried bc I felt ugly and my face seems less slim and soft. I live healthy active, bike swim walks but bc my neck feels like a burden I can't find the power to go to the gym anymore
Thanks for this video after going to the dentist following your steps for 2 weeks the stone made its way out. I can’t believe something the size of a grain of rice could cause this amount of discomfort. 😅
This is an interesting video, thank you. How can you tell if pain in the cheek is caused by the TMJ or from a problem with the salivary gland? And what type of specialist looks at the salivary gland? I saw a maxillofacial doctor about my TMJ, and I showed him the location in my cheek where I have pain, and he said that's where the salivary gland is. But nothing more was said, due it it being an NHS appointment without much time to discuss anything. I know I have a displaced disc in the TMJ.
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon I don't have any swelling with my TMJ. Just a TMJ clicking on opening on one side, and a cracking on biting sound on the opposite side. The pain I have in my cheek might be the pterygoid muscle, but I am not sure. I can feel a small lump in my cheek in the region of the pain, which I asked the maxillofacial doctor about, as I thought the lump might be a muscle knot in the pterygoid muscle. But he said the small lump I was pointing to is the salivary duct. I have pain there all the time, but it is much worse after eating acidic fruit.
About 6 weeks ago I had a gland swell up on me and I thought it was a tooth root going bad as I have had that. But the dentist chalked it up to a possible stone causing my symptoms. Antibiotics cleared my problem. I haven't discussed with primary Dr yet but I have a regular appt scheduled soon so may discuss with him. Just this morning the same area felt tight and painful so I did the massage recommendation and that did help. Not bothering me at all. Time to drink some water and will follow with a lemon drop. Is this more of an old age problem? I'm 69 and never had this problem before. A neighbor about the same age had the same problem a few months ago.
Please look into a Biological Dentist to do a CBCT 3D imaging to determine whether or not it is in fact due to a root canal tooth! I have had systemic, debilitating health issues for years and finally found the root cause to absolutely be due to an old root canal. Never any pain, swelling or fever. But still, it caused systemic illness that one may overlook being connected to root canal procedures. It sux because you will pay out of pocket for a CBCT which is usually around $500. But who can put a price tag on health? Especially when you’re suffering. Please look into your oral health!
@@SCFSAiNTfor me it started after I had 2 covid vaccinations. I'm 48. I was fit and healthy and after the vaccinations my arms would swell and my neck / jawline area. :(
Hi, I am suffering really badly with this at the moment lots of pain after eating lower jaw under my chin and in my check and upper teeth area too. I have an appointment in 2 weeks time with a ENT dr. I have sleep apnoea and use a CPAP. Could this have been a side effect of CPAP. I was getting a dry mouth for a while with a full face mask but using a nasal one now. which seems to have solved the dry mouth but left with this awful problem.
Wait why would there be food in my saliva gland? I thought a saliva stone was thick hardened saliva? A tonsil stone is foof stuck in your tonsils that calcifies.
I suffer from this. And no one knows what causes it. I have these mucous plugs in both my sub mandibular glands. My glands are swollen every day and I have to massage my glands for hours for these things to come out. I made the mistake of letting a surgeon cut and reroute ducts because he claimed it would help and it was the worst decision ever. It just caused my symptoms to be even worst. Sucking on lemon, drinking extra fluids and warm compresses use to help alot more. Once the mucous plugs would come out my gland would feel relieved and swelling would go away instantly. But since that surgery nothing really helps and now it's very difficult to massage those plugs out. No quality of life😢. I wish I could reverse what he did or find a doctor that could bring an end to my daily misery. Cause how could I possibly remove both submadibular glands which what he last advised. 😮😢😢
If you have ever had any root canals please look into finding a Biological Dentist and have them do a CBCT 3D imaging. They will be able to tell if it’s an old root canal causing your problems! I know, I’ve been dealing with debilitating, systemic health issues for years and finally found the root cause to actually be my root canals!! I also had zero quality of life. Had the first of three root canals extracted 4 days ago and the Asthma I was diagnosed with a year ago had ceased within 1 day after getting that nasty, dead tooth out!! However, my gland under my jaw bone is even more swollen than it has been in years. The pain is unbearable despite pain meds and antibiotic use. I am calling the Dentist first thing in the morning. Please look into your oral health!
Hi Doctor..I am a rheumatoid arthritis and now I am getting pain in my left side of the saliva gland. My saliva is thick and sticky since last 6 months. After persistent phone call my Doctors had sent me for xrays. When I chew it's hurt and making noise. Even if I touch my mouth Wall it make noise. Please advise.. I wanna go to private Doctor what sort of Doctor I should be looking at?
Hello my nose has phollyps and my throat hurts even when drinking water also I can't sleep because I can't take a proper breath when I go to the doctor they can't find the illness. Can you help with any solutions?
My mum has this problem stone come out by doctor prescribe betadine iodine germicide 2% it works like it come out the stone from mouth. 😊 So don't worry it works no tension
Will they perform this survey in an emergency room? I am in so much pain and I cannot eat because the saliva just keeps trying to release. The thought of food is making the pain so much worse. I don't think I can wait until I schedule an appointment with an ENT Dr
Ok...i just got it i though it's a dangerous ellergy and though i was gonna die. Firstly I ate candy cotton i was so satisfied that i eat them on the side where i never chew food and it's too on the last tooth. Suddenly i got tickled under my tongue and got heated and suddenly the muscles and skin on both ends of my jaw under the ear got fluffed. I think it's mumps I ate anti allergy and after sometime it's okey i though i was gonna die.
Dear sir,I have been transfusion for 3 times now so IAM still confused because after that, there's some signs appear like sore on head, lumps on neck,and sores in the mouth.what that means or is there anything to do to stop that?
I made a selfie and I saw my cheek had a round thick area. I thought it was the light but now i wonder. It seemed like my skin looked a bit yellow idk if it's the camera effect or not
Hi you know the two little things under ur toung well one of mine is size of top of a pinky finger it gets low then right back huge hard t eat anything at all it’s been there five months at least I thought it was a stone also but the pain is terrible sometimes my right side of toung is super sore also do you think it’s stone or cancer my primary dr out of town and I saw another Dr said it’s mouth cancer out of nowhere so not sure she knows what she’s saying I really don’t know her or she knows me I saw ur video now I don’t even know what to do what do you think ? Thought try t move stone like you were saying any help would be great and thanks.
I've got a sublingual gland stone. Very small in size. My dental said you'll need a operate to remove it and its the only method it can be gone. He said he'll remove it through milk method and then a small cut to get it out. But I don't want to be operated seems a bit risky to me. Because its a very sensitive location as you all know. My symptoms are like I got swelling my sublingual gland total 4-5 times in two months and it feels bit ichtines on sublingual gland. I don't feel any pain yet. So my question is it good to go with massage and lemon squeeze ? It would be got out with it ? Its very small in size.
The moment you said, Tea dehydrates you. I knew. I have a cup of tea every morning up at my dorm. I caused this on myself.😂 not my dumbass, drinking a cuppa tea every day and not drinking enough water. Also, my dorm is so hot and dries out my sinus and throat would never think this sort of thing could've happened now I'm bugging everyone to hydrate not to become like me plus I'm a smoker so another reason why I did this to myself. Stay hydrated out there don't fuck around
Can someone help me .. I’m suffering doctors can’t help .. I begged them to do something cause I can’t deal with it no more .. so they give me prednisone to see if I get relief.. said it may not work.. I don’t get pain .. only when push on the gland area it gets swollen like chipmunk face .. I do get small pieces of stone from time to time I get annoying itch and horrible feeling then the glands all of them become inflamed and soft stringy things come out of the glands but I have to press very hard and sometimes it takes days to one out sometimes it’s just irritated and nothing comes out no matter how I push on the gland .. I never heard any one said they have that.. can someone tell me what it is .. I did all the test to check fir autoimmune conditions and none was found
Mine is on right side it’s as big as pinky finger top when wake in morning it’s a lot bigger It’s weird it’s only on right side of tongue one. It’s been three weeks dr wonts me t get biopsy do I really need t go threw all the pain and all with biopsy. Do you think will go away one day it might be big in morning then middle day bb size then back up again always biggest in morning waking up. Dr said could be cancer bc smoked 40 years but not sure what t do. Would the Lemons and make it go away ? Any help be great
Hi, I cannot find much information on "submandibular gland tumors." I have a small tumor, which has shrunk due to holistic methods, but its still there. I had a needle biopsy and the results were 'unidentified malignant cells' and they just wanted to surgically remove it. I cannot seem to find any cases such as mine and what this even means. The surgeons just talk about surgery. Any suggestions are gratefully welcomed. Thank you.
@@dyhana333 hello, i hope this meets you well, Have u found more info on this or treatment? I have same condition and i need as much info as possible, i u can help with this, it will be much appreciated
How can we tell (before seeking medical treatment) if its a stone or an infected gland? Ive not had this before now. It literally feels like a huge stone under my tongue on the left side but my jaw is swollen and puffy. Im leaning towards a stone tho b.c i just stopped my 2nd course of antibiotics yesterday. I'm recently overcoming a lung infection that took 2 rounds of Rx antibiotics to treat. If it were an infected gland... The antibiotics would've attacked and cured it. Unless its viral, then no antibiotics would work. During the lung issue tho, i didnt eat and barely drank anything. I felt too bad. So stone makes sense. How can we tell tho? Anybody no?? Plz?
I also suffer different right now last january 2024 i have wisdon tooth extraction but my dentist never take all because too deep he said nothing to worry eont hurt but after 3 month surgery i feel pain in my gums or even in the remaining wisdon tooth i dont knoe now i just notice my sublingual fold have something bump there i do t know is a cyst mucus or what i also dont kknow come up with what. Becuase my wisdon tooth remainnis in rigjt side but my bump in sunlingual fold is on left side but before i also remove my wisdom in left side 2 yrs ago and nothing problem now painful my gums or wisdon tooth remain there any one can say that may be because of my wisdom tooth remain ther my sublingual fold is irritation and something bump there

sir, i had my left submandibular gland operation and removed it 1 year ago due to stones. I had getting some stones before operation from salivary gland and pus also.soo, i decided to operation hoping all will be normal . My doctor showed 4 stones inside gland after removing it but after few weeks i again got 2 stones and pus from same salivary duct.i meet my doctor and he said it is previous stones that were still in duct and pus problem will solve after some time. now i am not getting stones but i am continuously getting pus each day . I told my doctor about it many times but he says he is also confusing but says here is no dangerous . Please doctor tell me something about it . I am very nervous and in tension. What should i need to do pls doctor suggest me.i am from nepal and my doctor was Dr.Ramesh parajuli working in SAMUDAYiK Hospital, chitwan
could you please tell about the operation ? what kind of an operation is that and what was the size of the stone you had ? didn't they try to remove the stone with any other way ?
Sir, I have this problem for the last 3 years, swelling or pain in the right side in the morning, which is normal for 1-2 mints, but after 3-4 months, there is no problem, USG is normal, please reply.
Massge that part , my mom has this stone and Only Proscribed doctor is Betadine(iodine Germicides gargle 2%) it works and Hot watter Massage dont worry . No Problem no tension. 😊
I never feel pain either but I think I don't have stones just swollen area under jawlines. Very annoying and hindering but no pain. It does make me feel drained.
Why no mention of antibiotics doctor? You scare people telling them about the surgery that will leave their face droopy. You don’t prescribe antibiotics as a first resort to fight the infection?
I've had 1 for a couple of years now, it's about the size of a golf ball. I don't fancy the operation so will try the opel fruits. Didn't know what it was until a couple of weeks ago when I had it looked at because it got infected. I just took paracetamol and strepsils.
I have a blocked gland on the right side of my neck with swelling and I have been drinking water but it doesn’t bother me when I eat or drink anything I have been taking my hand and trying to bring it down a little bit more but it just sits there it hurts when I try to bring it down when I touch it . What other things that I could do other than what you mentioned in this video that I could do ? I do go to my regular doctor here on the 28th of this month & I also have a endocrinologist appointment in November but I feel like she doesn’t check my neck too see if it swollen or not but I can tell it is. Thank You for sharing this with us I appreciate it very much
It depends on the person, diet, health, and oral hygiene. Could be a few hours, but is generally a few days and you can notice an infection, just depends on how bad it gets. It's definitely a bad area to get an infection though.
Thank you. I was just diagnosed with this. The doctor told me to eat sour candy,drink lots of water and massage. Not really explaining very well. You told me everything and now I feel confident in this. Hopefully I will have success. Thanks again!

I put it back between my teeth and grinded it into a mush as revenge. No bad tasting secretions but my swollen left gland drained instantly. Thank you
Hi where did it pop out from was it the side of your mouth or under your tongue nothing has worked for me yet
Opal fruits - What a great tip!
Thank you thank you thank you so much I was in the convenient Care. I have experience of what you were talking about thank you so much you helped me so much. You are an angel 😇😇😇💗💗💗 God bless you we need to spread the word of mouth stuff like that and I need a drink more water! ❤❤
You saved my life
very helpful information!
This is the second time I am having this. The first time antibiotics and some paste the doctor recommended helped. This time, i let it grow out of proportion to the point where swallowing became difficult.
I was wondering if the tap water full of calcium and magnesium might have something to do with it.
I reach a point where I'm trying to analyze everything im putting into my body.
I also was taking vitamin and minerals supplements everyday for a while. Without anyone prescribing them. Do you think their overdose might lead to a crystallisation in the duct?
Same question on my mind. I wonder if supplements could lead to stones
The best advice ever. Thanks so much👏🏽👌🏽
Dear Vic, You are a kind Dr. Your advice help me a lot❤
And I prefer Opal fruits than starbust😂
Thank you! I needed this video! 👏🤗
Omg. Best information ℹ️ I’ve learned so much. Thank you.
I’ve been having sever dry mouth and I get tonsil stones as well. Water, gum, candy etc only work for the moment.
I appreciate this information, since I have been to the UK I notice a subtle change in facial structure, and now I think it's getting worse. Although I am a slim person, I thought it was just me naturally putting on size and therefore it was showing in my face. However that's not the case, so I started googling about this because it's becoming not too attractive. I'm a bit worried that it could be an underlying health issue
Hmm I had similar issue's still have but less than before.
For me it started after covid vaccinations. My face looks less soft and often puffy. Less defined jawline. I did tests echo of my neck etc but everything was normal. When it's swelling it's more on left side under my jawline and sometimes it's thick on the 'bottom' of my neck in the middle.
Lately my neighborhood is actively asking questions about a chemical factory near by so now im wondering if that's related to my symptoms like shortness of breathe sudden swelling which suddenly comes and goes and neighbors had similar issue's.
Who knows but it could be post vaccination syndrome as well, I guess I will never know.
It's there sinceb3 years but in 2021 till 2023 it was much worse. Exhausted lack of energy and my neck made me look like a frog!it was not weight gain bc it was only there for some days per month. I cried bc I felt ugly and my face seems less slim and soft. I live healthy active, bike swim walks but bc my neck feels like a burden I can't find the power to go to the gym anymore
Thanks for this video after going to the dentist following your steps for 2 weeks the stone made its way out. I can’t believe something the size of a grain of rice could cause this amount of discomfort. 😅
Langkah -langkah untuk mengeluarkan batunya dengan apa?
Hi.. I am been through this now. From where the stone come out? It is hard like real stone?
This is an interesting video, thank you. How can you tell if pain in the cheek is caused by the TMJ or from a problem with the salivary gland? And what type of specialist looks at the salivary gland?
I saw a maxillofacial doctor about my TMJ, and I showed him the location in my cheek where I have pain, and he said that's where the salivary gland is. But nothing more was said, due it it being an NHS appointment without much time to discuss anything. I know I have a displaced disc in the TMJ.
You will need to see an ent, I get them
And my doctor told me it was tmj and turns out it was stones and a tumor. So o would see an ent.
we (ENT) deal with these stones. parotid gland would swell up a lot, tmj only swells a bit?
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon I don't have any swelling with my TMJ. Just a TMJ clicking on opening on one side, and a cracking on biting sound on the opposite side.
The pain I have in my cheek might be the pterygoid muscle, but I am not sure. I can feel a small lump in my cheek in the region of the pain, which I asked the maxillofacial doctor about, as I thought the lump might be a muscle knot in the pterygoid muscle. But he said the small lump I was pointing to is the salivary duct. I have pain there all the time, but it is much worse after eating acidic fruit.
About 6 weeks ago I had a gland swell up on me and I thought it was a tooth root going bad as I have had that. But the dentist chalked it up to a possible stone causing my symptoms. Antibiotics cleared my problem. I haven't discussed with primary Dr yet but I have a regular appt scheduled soon so may discuss with him. Just this morning the same area felt tight and painful so I did the massage recommendation and that did help. Not bothering me at all. Time to drink some water and will follow with a lemon drop.
Is this more of an old age problem? I'm 69 and never had this problem before. A neighbor about the same age had the same problem a few months ago.
I'm 32.....just started last Friday, lol
Please look into a Biological Dentist to do a CBCT 3D imaging to determine whether or not it is in fact due to a root canal tooth! I have had systemic, debilitating health issues for years and finally found the root cause to absolutely be due to an old root canal. Never any pain, swelling or fever. But still, it caused systemic illness that one may overlook being connected to root canal procedures. It sux because you will pay out of pocket for a CBCT which is usually around $500. But who can put a price tag on health? Especially when you’re suffering. Please look into your oral health!
@@SCFSAiNTfor me it started after I had 2 covid vaccinations. I'm 48. I was fit and healthy and after the vaccinations my arms would swell and my neck / jawline area. :(
Great info dear Dr. Vik! Thank you so much! I have this problem right now and will follow what you say! First time I have heard of this condition!😊
This information is extremely helpful. Thank you Dr.
Hi, I am suffering really badly with this at the moment lots of pain after eating lower jaw under my chin and in my check and upper teeth area too. I have an appointment in 2 weeks time with a ENT dr. I have sleep apnoea and use a CPAP. Could this have been a side effect of CPAP. I was getting a dry mouth for a while with a full face mask but using a nasal one now. which seems to have solved the dry mouth but left with this awful problem.
Hi Doctor. What about tonsil stones? Are they the same as the ones mentioned in this video?
Both are calcified food particles and are essentially the same thing- just in different parts of the mouth.
Wait why would there be food in my saliva gland? I thought a saliva stone was thick hardened saliva? A tonsil stone is foof stuck in your tonsils that calcifies.
I suffered from this desease now , is there any permanent treatment for this?
I suffer from this. And no one knows what causes it. I have these mucous plugs in both my sub mandibular glands. My glands are swollen every day and I have to massage my glands for hours for these things to come out. I made the mistake of letting a surgeon cut and reroute ducts because he claimed it would help and it was the worst decision ever. It just caused my symptoms to be even worst. Sucking on lemon, drinking extra fluids and warm compresses use to help alot more. Once the mucous plugs would come out my gland would feel relieved and swelling would go away instantly. But since that surgery nothing really helps and now it's very difficult to massage those plugs out. No quality of life😢. I wish I could reverse what he did or find a doctor that could bring an end to my daily misery. Cause how could I possibly remove both submadibular glands which what he last advised. 😮😢😢
If you have ever had any root canals please look into finding a Biological Dentist and have them do a CBCT 3D imaging. They will be able to tell if it’s an old root canal causing your problems! I know, I’ve been dealing with debilitating, systemic health issues for years and finally found the root cause to actually be my root canals!! I also had zero quality of life. Had the first of three root canals extracted 4 days ago and the Asthma I was diagnosed with a year ago had ceased within 1 day after getting that nasty, dead tooth out!!
However, my gland under my jaw bone is even more swollen than it has been in years. The pain is unbearable despite pain meds and antibiotic use. I am calling the Dentist first thing in the morning. Please look into your oral health!
You just helped ME!!!! Thank you!
Hows so¿
Thank you Doctor. Question: Does a high salt diet cause dehydration?
It causes retention. That's why you take salt pills in summer
Could a undetected parotid issue cause fistulas to the earlobes and surrounding tissue?
Hi Doctor..I am a rheumatoid arthritis and now I am getting pain in my left side of the saliva gland. My saliva is thick and sticky since last 6 months. After persistent phone call my Doctors had sent me for xrays. When I chew it's hurt and making noise. Even if I touch my mouth Wall it make noise. Please advise.. I wanna go to private Doctor what sort of Doctor I should be looking at?
That sounds like my initial Sjogrens Syndrome symptoms. A blood test can diagnose it. Unfortunately, there's no cure 😕.
what about mucous plugs blocking your saliva glands
Hello my nose has phollyps and my throat hurts even when drinking water also I can't sleep because I can't take a proper breath when I go to the doctor they can't find the illness. Can you help with any solutions?
My mum has this problem stone come out by doctor prescribe betadine iodine germicide 2% it works like it come out the stone from mouth. 😊
So don't worry it works no tension
I have a stone in the Wharton canal of 5.4 mm do i need a surgery ??????
Will they perform this survey in an emergency room? I am in so much pain and I cannot eat because the saliva just keeps trying to release. The thought of food is making the pain so much worse. I don't think I can wait until I schedule an appointment with an ENT Dr
How are you doing now?
Can a stone in the gland can be removed without removing the gland?
Yes. The procedure is called a Sialendoscopy, but the stones can return.
@@KaptainKrunch95 can stones in any size be removed like that ?
I woke with another. Zygoma area has a lump inside. Pain shoots to temple.
Ok...i just got it i though it's a dangerous ellergy and though i was gonna die. Firstly I ate candy cotton i was so satisfied that i eat them on the side where i never chew food and it's too on the last tooth. Suddenly i got tickled under my tongue and got heated and suddenly the muscles and skin on both ends of my jaw under the ear got fluffed. I think it's mumps I ate anti allergy and after sometime it's okey i though i was gonna die.
Dear sir,I have been transfusion for 3 times now so IAM still confused because after that, there's some signs appear like sore on head, lumps on neck,and sores in the mouth.what that means or is there anything to do to stop that?
I made a selfie and I saw my cheek had a round thick area. I thought it was the light but now i wonder. It seemed like my skin looked a bit yellow idk if it's the camera effect or not
Hi you know the two little things under ur toung well one of mine is size of top of a pinky finger it gets low then right back huge hard t eat anything at all it’s been there five months at least I thought it was a stone also but the pain is terrible sometimes my right side of toung is super sore also do you think it’s stone or cancer my primary dr out of town and I saw another Dr said it’s mouth cancer out of nowhere so not sure she knows what she’s saying I really don’t know her or she knows me I saw ur video now I don’t even know what to do what do you think ?

My son also have ston e in salivary gland
I have sjrogrens and thought I had a stone and turns out it was a paratoid tumor! I do have stones in other spots because of my sjrogrens.

@@VikVeerENTSurgeon I would love to hear it!
I lost taste sensation of my half toung after my t plasty surgery? Any way I can get taste like previous?
I've got a sublingual gland stone. Very small in size. My dental said you'll need a operate to remove it and its the only method it can be gone. He said he'll remove it through milk method and then a small cut to get it out. But I don't want to be operated seems a bit risky to me. Because its a very sensitive location as you all know. My symptoms are like I got swelling my sublingual gland total 4-5 times in two months and it feels bit ichtines on sublingual gland. I don't feel any pain yet. So my question is it good to go with massage and lemon squeeze ? It would be got out with it ? Its very small in size.
did they share you the exact size of the stone ? like in millimeters ? and why don't you consult an ENT doctor ?
The moment you said, Tea dehydrates you. I knew. I have a cup of tea every morning up at my dorm. I caused this on myself.😂
not my dumbass, drinking a cuppa tea every day and not drinking enough water. Also, my dorm is so hot and dries out my sinus and throat would never think this sort of thing could've happened now I'm bugging everyone to hydrate not to become like me plus I'm a smoker so another reason why I did this to myself.
Stay hydrated out there don't fuck around
I hate my parents not taking me to a doctor for this
Can someone help me .. I’m suffering doctors can’t help .. I begged them to do something cause I can’t deal with it no more .. so they give me prednisone to see if I get relief.. said it may not work.. I don’t get pain .. only when push on the gland area it gets swollen like chipmunk face .. I do get small pieces of stone from time to time I get annoying itch and horrible feeling then the glands all of them become inflamed and soft stringy things come out of the glands but I have to press very hard and sometimes it takes days to one out sometimes it’s just irritated and nothing comes out no matter how I push on the gland .. I never heard any one said they have that.. can someone tell me what it is .. I did all the test to check fir autoimmune conditions and none was found
I washed my mouth with vinegar (because i had a cut in my mouth) and now i feel swelling
Thanks so much 🙏🇨🇦
Mine is on right side it’s as big as pinky finger top when wake in morning it’s a lot bigger It’s weird it’s only on right side of tongue one. It’s been three weeks dr wonts me t get biopsy do I really need t go threw all the pain and all with biopsy. Do you think will go away one day it might be big in morning then middle day bb size then back up again always biggest in morning waking up. Dr said could be cancer bc smoked 40 years but not sure what t do. Would the Lemons and make it go away ? Any help be great
Hi, I cannot find much information on "submandibular gland tumors." I have a small tumor, which has shrunk due to holistic methods, but its still there. I had a needle biopsy and the results were 'unidentified malignant cells' and they just wanted to surgically remove it. I cannot seem to find any cases such as mine and what this even means. The surgeons just talk about surgery. Any suggestions are gratefully welcomed. Thank you.
@@dyhana333 hello, i hope this meets you well,
Have u found more info on this or treatment?
I have same condition and i need as much info as possible, i u can help with this, it will be much appreciated
How can we tell (before seeking medical treatment) if its a stone or an infected gland? Ive not had this before now. It literally feels like a huge stone under my tongue on the left side but my jaw is swollen and puffy. Im leaning towards a stone tho b.c i just stopped my 2nd course of antibiotics yesterday. I'm recently overcoming a lung infection that took 2 rounds of Rx antibiotics to treat. If it were an infected gland... The antibiotics would've attacked and cured it. Unless its viral, then no antibiotics would work. During the lung issue tho, i didnt eat and barely drank anything. I felt too bad. So stone makes sense. How can we tell tho? Anybody no?? Plz?
I also suffer different right now last january 2024 i have wisdon tooth extraction but my dentist never take all because too deep he said nothing to worry eont hurt but after 3 month surgery i feel pain in my gums or even in the remaining wisdon tooth i dont knoe now i just notice my sublingual fold have something bump there i do t know is a cyst mucus or what i also dont kknow come up with what.

I never feel pain either but I think I don't have stones just swollen area under jawlines. Very annoying and hindering but no pain. It does make me feel drained.

Please help me
My salivary submandibular glands keep swelling up and down every day what is that
I do have that
Why no mention of antibiotics doctor? You scare people telling them about the surgery that will leave their face droopy. You don’t prescribe antibiotics as a first resort to fight the infection?
Mumps?
"If saliva sits for a long time..." how long is a long time?
I've had 1 for a couple of years now, it's about the size of a golf ball. I don't fancy the operation so will try the opel fruits. Didn't know what it was until a couple of weeks ago when I had it looked at because it got infected. I just took paracetamol and strepsils.
@@theproteus124 Hello how are you feeling now.. and did you perhaps had a stone aswell.. I have the same problem for a while now..
I have a blocked gland on the right side of my neck with swelling and I have been drinking water but it doesn’t bother me when I eat or drink anything I have been taking my hand and trying to bring it down a little bit more but it just sits there it hurts when I try to bring it down when I touch it . What other things that I could do other than what you mentioned in this video that I could do ? I do go to my regular doctor here on the 28th of this month & I also have a endocrinologist appointment in November but I feel like she doesn’t check my neck too see if it swollen or not but I can tell it is. Thank You for sharing this with us I appreciate it very much
It depends on the person, diet, health, and oral hygiene. Could be a few hours, but is generally a few days and you can notice an infection, just depends on how bad it gets. It's definitely a bad area to get an infection though.
It is very very and very Much painful （｡>‿‿
